Chapter 879: 015 The Truth of the Big Fire_4

For those orphans, survival was their fate; for those who couldn’t, there was no helping it.

Later, she would become a vegetarian and chant Buddhist scriptures, praying for those innocent children.

This was the truth behind the massive fire at Fortstar Orphanage that once shocked the whole of Kyoto—a fire set by their own mother for the sake of her four children.

They could scarcely believe it. Their gentle mother had done such a thing for her children. It was no wonder that from a certain day onward, they had never seen their mother smile again.

They had thought it was because of their father’s relationship with Ellie Wilton, but it wasn’t. It was actually their mother who had harbored such a shocking secret in her heart.

They found it hard to believe, yet these were the facts because their mother had left the dean a message, and her suicide note had been very direct. If Ellie Wilton posed a threat to their interests in the future, then they were to confront Ellie Wilton. If she didn’t take the hint, her best friend would be sent to prison.

After all, with her passing, all sins would disappear like smoke. But her best friend, who was always in the know, had kept the secret for so many years. Ellie Wilton certainly wouldn’t be able to tolerate a best friend who had caused the death of her child. She would collapse and once a person collapsed, they would no longer pose a threat.

This was Hannah Browman’s reasoning. She and Ellie Wilton were rivals in love, so she had conducted a thorough investigation of Ellie Wilton and knew her quite well—loyal and deeply sentimental.

"Grandma actually committed murder!" After reading the letter and the evidence, Molly Rodriguez screamed, covering her mouth with her hand.

Luckily, there were only a few of them in the room. Alexander Parker glared at his wife, whose mental fortitude was quite low, and yelled at her, "Can you keep it down? It’s as if you want everyone to hear, isn’t it?"

This was the first time Alexander Parker had ever shouted at her like this. Molly Rodriguez felt a bit aggrieved, but considering her own actions just now, she could sympathize. In anyone’s eyes, their mother-in-law had always been gentle and kind. If word got out that she had orchestrated such a shocking crime, especially against innocent children, how horrifying that would be.

If their father-in-law found out what their mother-in-law had done, chances are he would take away everything they now possessed. And if Ellie Wilton knew about it, it would be even worse.

Who could keep swallowing their complaints after finding out that their own son had almost been killed?

Molly Rodriguez fell silent. Although her mother-in-law had acted for her own children, such measures were simply too cruel. Those children, already pitiable as orphans, had been cruelly murdered, sacrificed as attendants in death.

No wonder, since the time she married into the family, the mother-in-law had been odd, constantly engaged in vegetarianism and chanting, hiding in her room to recite scriptures for much of the day. Back then, she couldn’t understand it. How could an old lady do this day after day, wasn’t it boring?

However, the prince hadn’t died, had he?

"Something’s wrong," exclaimed Molly Rodriguez, breaking the silence once again.

"Now what do you want to say?" Alexander Parker asked with furrowed brows.

"If Noah Wilton had died back then, then who is Ryan Parker now?" asked Molly Rodriguez, voicing the doubt that lingered in everyone’s minds.

This was the confusion that both Alexander Parker and Zoey Parker shared. If what their mother’s letter and evidence suggested was true, and Ellie Wilton’s child had died over twenty years ago, then who was Ryan Parker?

Perhaps that so-called paternity test report was fake.

"I’m going to call Dr. Gu right now," Zoey Parker said as she exchanged glances with Alexander Parker.

Alexander Parker didn’t respond, which was as good as an agreement.

"Big Brother, I think we should keep this matter concealed. In our mother’s life, she did everything for the four of us, her children. If this got out, I think it would be bad for Mom and us, and even disrespectful to our deceased grandmother, who always defended Mom and loved us, right?" Jack Parker spoke to Alexander Parker.

He was not used to speaking up during family meetings and didn’t like to either. After all, he was never the one calling the shots in the family.

"..." Alexander Parker felt there was sense in these words. If the matter did get out, it would bring no good to either them or their mother, and their grandmother, who had so supported and cherished them. If she knew the kind of cold-hearted person she had supported as a daughter-in-law, who knows how much she would have regretted it.
